In 2025, THE Anthem Country Club (Thank you!) hosted the event and a spot in the 2025 U.S. Amateur was on the line for the champion to win in addition to other qualifying exemptions.
This event is HISTORIC and brings together the BEST amateurs in Nevada each year. SNGA Assistant Executive Director Tim Brand shared what the event means to amateur golf in Nevada.
Trent Virden from Reno won the title and the exemption.
“It’s awesome that we have the opportunity to earn an exemption,” Virden said. “When I saw that there was a U.S. Amateur exemption, that was the draw to come and play. For me personally, that was everything. I didn’t want to be second, I didn’t want to be third. I wanted to play in the U.S. Amateur.”
